One possible 'issue' from the weekend, we have two different tests one called a CMT and one a CT. It was noticable that a lot of people were refering to CMT's as CT's and getting confused as to the effect of generals in each one.
Is there any reason that a CMT has to be named that way? Could it be renamed to be a Maneuver Test or some other name that doesn't get abreviated to CT.

I am sure we can think of something nmore distinctive. An MT why not? We'll kick it around. Any other suggestions welcome.

I think MT works better - "complex" or for that matter "difficult" doesnt really add anything, as it is a test to do a maneuver .... Leaving in the extra word also maybes reinforces the first-impression that good units can do "complex/difficult" things, which lets face it, most wargamers equate with "cheating" !!

A good point - the less it looks complex or dodgy the better.
